On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the feminist philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft. First, we learn about the unexpected origin of The Royal Humane Society and how they assisted Mary Wollstonecraft. Next, we learn about the many ways Wollstonecraft challenged societal conventions and why she believed that women were essentially slaves to their husbands during her time. Finally, we consider the behavioral conditioning that is perpetuated by society even today and think about how we enact change when we’re not satisfied with the results.

  • But at the time these guys started it, it was, well, a highly controversial thing.

  • The reason why is because, well, William Haas and Thomas Kogan were doctors.

  • They cared about people.

  • And they were starting this charity as two staunch advocates of a very controversial medical practice in the year 1759,

  • one that was very new at the time, and largely denounced by the general public and medical community.

  • You, the modern listener, might know it better as resuscitation,

  • which by the way is a very difficult word to say and not sound weird.
